A little about me: Being such a creative person, my goal through schooling was always to find a job where I would be surrounded by creativity. Lily and Val is truly a mix of my favorite things: letter writing, hand lettering and chalkboard art. This year I have discovered new hobbies like calligraphy and DIY, and I graduated college with a degree in Marketing. I am an avid reader and movie watcher, and if I’m watching TV it is more than likely Food Network Channel. I feel blessed to have such a close, loving family and I could gush about them all day, but I won’t! I’m thankful and so excited about this new chapter of life!

Coffee or Tea?

Definitely a Tea girl. Any caffeine is too much caffeine for me, but I never say ‘never’ to frilly Starbucks drinks!

Cake or Pie?

I’ve always been keen on pie- to eat and to bake! My mom makes an outstanding apple pie for my birthday every year.

Favorite Christmas Movie?

I can’t name just one! There are too many that my family and I watch over and over again: The Polar Express, White Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (both versions!), and It’s a Wonderful Life. There is also something about Eloise at Christmastime that puts a smile on my face.

In the company of my whole family! I have three older sisters and one older brother and it has become rare that we can be all together. Icing on the cake would be in a small town in Iowa where my Grandma lives.

I find a new favorite every day! The holiday recipe prints and the brand new mugs (coming soon!) have knocked my socks off! I also have a soft spot for the “Joyeux Noel” card because I studied in Paris in for one semester!
